It is coming down to the wire here in my playoff round this week. In a standard league, I am ahead by 30 points but my opponent has Kamara and the Saints defense. This is going to be close I think.
I really need the Panthers to come out and play well tonight.
What do you think my chances are?
162.75 to 148
Other semi that’s final is 108-76.
Of course this is the biggest payout league and only top two pay.
Side not in finals in my two other leagues.
Terrible week
Need McCaffrey to put up 17 - 20 points and then I should have a shot.
My team was #1 in points, #1 in regular season and has Luck, Barkley, McCaffrey, Conner, Cook, Hilton, Evans, Kittle, Bears D. I got goose eggs from Rosas and a poor day from Luck. Below average days from almost everyone else and my opponents had the Williams' on Thursday night.
If I win it will be close to a Christmas miracle.
Dalvin Cook the only player on my team who showed up. Well Evans wasn't awful.
In my other league, I am going for most points (30% of prize pool). I should have hopefully a 25-30 point lead over a handful of people. Would be a big check before Xmas.
In my one league, I am going to be playing the guy I beat by one point when Dalvin Cook caught the 17 yard garbage pass and 5 yard TD pass from Cousins at the end of the Bears game last week....so this is going to be something!
In the other league, Mahomes & Hopkins carried me through most of the year and again this week. Should be interesting.
OBJ, Connor & Ware all out before game time.
Aaron Jones going down early and Saquan doing very little didn't help.
Adding insult to injury, I put in the Giants D as a late substitution figuring it would be sloppy with turnovers. I lose by 1.6 points and the D I subbed out had 3 more points than the Gmen.
/end rant
He's got Kamara and McCaffrey left tonight. I'm still nervous. lol
Brees
M. Thomas
Beckham
Mixon
Chubb
Cook
Burton
I'm going to have some difficult keeper decisions. We can keep two. My interesting choices are:
Beckham: 2nd
M. Thomas: 3rd
D. Cook: 2nd
Mixon: 2nd
Chubb: 8th
Kerryon Johnson: 8th
Golladay: 11th
This past year I kept Beckham and Thomas.
I think this year I might just keep Dalvin Cook and Nick Chubb.
Or possibly M. Thomas and Chubb.

I agree, Ithink you definitely do Chubb. I'd be a little nervous of Cook's health, but if healthy he'd outperform a 2nd round pick imo.
When do you find out who everyone else is keeping?

(on paper) got smoked last week with Beckham missing the game and Jordan Reed putting up a goose egg, plus Brees and Thomas held in check.

August, LOL. Sucks losing.
I do a playoff fantasy football league with this same group, so that will keep me occupied.
Can't see anyway you lose this game. Carolina has the 4th best run defense in the NFL. They have the 14th best Pass D, but they've given up 28 pass TDs this year. Only 3 teams have allowed more.

with Brees against his Kamara. Just hope its one of those nights where Ingram gets the goal line work and Brees tosses 2-3. Very annoyed Ertz couldn't give me a bigger cushion. If he grabs one of those TD passes i'd feel a lot better right now.

Worst case scenario is happening right now, which blows. Now down 2 points, only hope is a Brees TD to anyone else which I can’t see happening if they hold the lead.
Then being ahead by less than 1 point, if Cam got sacked or if there was a turnover, I would lose. That 4th down I was praying for an incompletion. It happened...
crazy..
I hope James Conner lives a long and happy life after caring my ass this year.
